Atheists on the Santiago way : examining motivations to go on pilgrimage
2018
In the past 30 years, the camino to Santiago de Compostela has been recreated as an eclectic pilgrimage, open to both religious and atheist travelers. Following previous work on motivational orientations and religion, we conducted a study examining atheist versus religious pilgrims' motivations to walk the Santiago way. We assessed pilgrims (N = 360) at various parts of the northern Spanish camino using a questionnaire that measured motivations to go on pilgrimage. In addition, we measured levels of positive and negative affect, physical exertion, and emotional problems. Atheists scored significantly lower on community and religious types of motivations. However, in several measures no diff…
Comment conseillers et agriculteurs contribuent au développement d'un modèle d'aide à la décision pour la gestion agroécologique de la flore adventic…
2019
Prod 2019-15kEASPEGESTADINRAAGROSUPDOCT; Afin de réduire l’utilisation d’herbicides, nous avons besoin d'outils pour aider à concevoir des stratégies de gestion des adventices économes en herbicides. Dans ce but, nous avons développé un outil d'aide à la conception de systèmes de culture réconciliant protection des cultures et des écosystèmes. La démarche fait intervenir en parallèle le développement de la structure de ce nouvel outil d’aide à la décision (OAD) en interaction avec les futurs utilisateurs (conseillers et agriculteurs) et une simplification du contenu biophysique du modèle FLORSYS pour l’évaluation des impacts des adventices. L'OAD résultant, DECIFLORSYS, est composé : (1) du…
Mindfulness y duelo: programa MADED, mindfulness para la aceptación del dolor, las emociones y el duelo
2020
Objective: to design a psychological intervention protocol for the accompaniment of pain and emotions in the grieving process based on attention and compassion. Method: mourners over 18 years of age, who have lost their family member at least 6 months ago, who are in phase 2 or 3 of the grieving process and who have no previous mental health problems, will be included. They will be evaluated after signing the informed consent, by means of: the Mindfulness Questionnaire, the Life Satisfaction Questionnaire, the Vitality Questionnaire, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the Positive and Negative Affect Scale and the Complicated Grief Inventory. Descriptive statistics, Cohen’s t-test f…

Jelgavas Zinātniskās bibliotēkas ārējās komunikācijas izpēte un pilnveide
2016
Nepieciešamība pēc efektīvas ārējās komunikācijas publisko bibliotēku pakalpojumu popularizēšanā pieaug. Bibliotēkām jāpievēršas veiksmīgas komunikācijas veidošanā, lai tās būtu konkurētspējīgas un saglabātu savu vērtību mūsdienu mainīgajā sabiedrībā. Pētījuma mērķis ir izpētīt Jelgavas Zinātniskās bibliotēkas ārējo komunikāciju un izvirzīt ieteikumus tās pilnveidei, balstoties uz bibliotēkas lietotāju, nelietotāju un ekspertu viedokļiem. Pētījuma teorētisko bāzi veido pragmatisms, Gruniga un Hanta četri sabiedrisko attiecību modeļi un Ekoloģiskais komunikācijas procesa modelis. Darbā izmantotās datu ieguves metodes – anketēšana, mediju monitorings un ekspertu intervijas. Pēc pētījuma rezul…
Relief and calcium from gypsum as key factors for net inorganic carbon accumulation in soils of a semiarid Mediterranean environment
2021
Abstract In semiarid environments, the total inorganic carbon (TIC) in soil may contribute to the total carbon (C) pool more than the total organic C pool (TOC), thus playing a key role in storing atmospheric CO2. However, due to the different origin pathways of soil carbonates, not all of the TIC pool can be accounted for CO2 sequestration. Indeed, the inorganic C can be accounted for a net sink of CO2 only when calcium (Ca2+) forming carbonates originate from non-carbonate minerals (atmogenic inorganic C, AIC). The aim of this study carried out in a gypsiferous area is to investigate the dissolution of Ca2+ that comes from gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O) in the formation of soil atmogenic carbonates …
Bias correction of dynamically downscaled precipitation to compute soil water deficit for explaining year-to-year variation of tree growth over north…
2017
This paper documents the accuracy of a post-correction method applied to precipitation regionalized by the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Regional Climate Model (RCM) for improving simulated rainfall and feeding impact studies. The WRF simulation covers Burgundy (northeastern France) at a 8-km resolution and over a 20-year long period (1989–2008). Previous results show a strong deficiency of the WRF model for simulating precipitation, especially when convective processes are involved. In order to reduce such biases, a Quantile Mapping (QM) method is applied to WRF-simulated precipitation using the mesoscale atmospheric analyses system SAFRAN («Système d'Analyse Fournissant des Rense…

The onset of the rainy season and farmers’ sowing strategy for pearl millet cultivation in Southwest Niger
2011
A multi-year (2004-2009) field survey of on-farm sowing practices in 10 villages located in south-west Niger close to Niamey, is analysed to investigate the relationships (i) between rainfall and the sowing date of pearl millet and the risk of sowing failure, (ii) between sowing and meteorological/agro-climatic onset dates, (iii) between sowing/onset dates, and simulated and observed yield/biomass at the end of the season. Even if some villages sow without any synchronous or anterior rainfall, most parcels (73% out of the 1551 available cases) are sown during and just after a 2-day wet spell receiving at least 10 mm. In fact, there is a strong correlation (r = 0.82-0.95 depending on onset d…
A prediction model for field drying of hay using a heat balance method
1993
Abstract A hay drying model with a multi-layer representation has been developed. This model, based on a heat balance method, was designed to compute hay drying dynamics in the field. It was implemented for hay spread over a field or in windrows. The necessary inputs are: (1) meteorological data (temperature, humidity, wind speed, solar and atmospheric radiation); (2) biological characteristics of the plant; (3) hay physical parameters (depth, leaf area index). The output provides time-dependent cumulative water losses and changes in water content and temperature in the different layers. The model was tested against data measured under experimental conditions with different kinds of grass (…
